back in the day

Lyrics

back in the day when i was a teenager, before i had status and a two-way pager, you could find the kj listening to hip-hop, blastin it so loud my parents was like "turn it off", i used to rock turtlenecks with mc hammer pants, watch yo mtv raps just to catch the latest dance, i did the running man they said not bad for a white man, i said i'm not really white i just really need a tan, i used to write the girlie's phone numbers down upon my hand, and i didn't go nowhere without my tapes and walkman, rolling up the bottom of my pants as tight as i can, and i'm up late at night talking to my girlfriend saying. whatcha doin?, nothin, i gotta go, umm allright, you hang up first, no you hang up first, on the count of three.1.2.3. still there?, back in the day, back in the day, back in the day, back in the day, back in the day when i was a teenager, i wanted lines in my eyebrows so i took a razor, but i messed up and accidently i just sshaved the, whole eyebrow off i was like "i'm going crazy!", see it was tough just growing up in the 80's, but for me it was rough cuz no girls would ever date me, all the ladies i would ask out was like "well maybe. you're okay but you're no patrick swayze", unfortunately i think all my teachers hate me, cuz i sit in the back making noises like i'm crazy, ahhhhhhhhh.but it's all gravy, in third period today i'm gonna ask out this lady, got the paper got the pencil now whoops here i go, will you go out with me check yes or no, i'm feeling all slick when i handed her the note, i told you ten times already no now leave me alone, back in the day when i was a teenager, i was only 15 when i just met my savior, and he came in straight in my heart and he just changed the, way i used to live in ill behavior, see it's amazing to see my life that i just gave ya, so amazing to me jesus christ you became the, savior to me and ain't never been the same the, way i would be back in the day it would amaze ya, but the change that i see it was done in a major, way i would be so that all i can do is thank ya, and every day just for me is a new day to praise ya, cuz you came just to be all i need and you just made a way for, me to see so i broke it down for you now i'm a take you back in the day kind of, like this dude. dum dum dum du du dum dum, dum dum dum du du dum dum, ya can't touch this,
